昨天睁着惺忪的睡眼， 陪老爸老妈去巴刹扫货 。。。。。 让我瞄到了一盘价值RM10 的螃蟹， 但老练的老妈子一口咬定那都不是新鲜的， 我只好嘟着朱唇离开 。

今天三哥没做工， 又跑去做姜太公了 。。。。 老妈子检查了他的战胜品， 喊了一声 "珠啊， 有螃蟹" . 我半信半疑地瞧瞧， 果然有只花蟹啊 。

老妈子把螃蟹切了对半， 放些姜片， 就那么清蒸了。 三哥知道我对螃蟹超馋嘴， 让我吃了他那份 ， 好感动哦 。

老妈说:你可是心想事成了。 对吧， 但也要感谢姜太公啊， 以后也许不该那么刁难他的嗜好了 。。。。 但发生在二哥的意外， 终让我惶惶恐恐地担心家里人的安全。 可是， 是你的终究是你的吧 。

Yesterday, after the hike, Eng and I were forced to do a little bit of shopping at TESCO, since the PG bridge is all jammed up, thanks to the collision of more than 7 cars in the middle span.

There we saw the latest model from our national car manufacturing company, the 2nd generation of SAGA, which is being sold at RM30K++. The day before, my junior told me that the VIVA that manufactured by the PERODUA (Msia 2nd national car manufacturing company) is sold at RM40K++ in full spec. I was already puzzling how can a mini and fragile car like that can be priced at RM40K++ ????

Ratan Tata comes to my rescue abt my puzzle .... the TATA group present to the world, NANO .... priced at Rs 1lakh ONLY(RM8K). It is a small car, more presentable and most likely hv the bigger space than the VIVA. The VIVA is certainly not worth its RM40K++ price.

Ratan Tata vow to produce an affordable car for his fellow countrymen, so that their safety is secured in the chaotic traffic of India ..... and he did delivered the promise. I would love to hv a NANO in Msia, and so does a businessman like Mr Ratan Tata .

So, after training for 1 month or so .... with the big bruises on my right knee, we actually completed the badminton competition yesterday. My team was crashed out in the group stage .... my partner and I hv lost all the 2 games in the mixed double, what a disaster . But anyhow I pick up some new skills along the training, and hopefully will keep on in improving my games .

Next ..... it's the training for the Mt K climb. Well, I hv been hiking the BJ hill with my frenz for the past 1 month, and of coz it's not enough to conquer the tallest mountain in SEA. But anyhow it is just to warm me up, before I proceed to hike the Penang Hill .... boy, I hope I won't pass out in mid way .

Let the engine started ...... and I hv to follow a tight diet to ensure I loss some weight before May. And that's a cruel test, as Chinese New Year is approaching, gosh ..... there would be lots of nice food and snacks temptations . Actually, I was already looking at some now .

Aha, today my colleagues and I were finally went to hv our lunch in an Indian restaurant. It had been ages since I hv had a proper Indian meals (minus the one I hv in KL few months ago, too spicy, my tounge was numb, and I felt nothing ).

Well, before I went to work in Klang, I was never expose to Indian food before. The roti canai and mee goreng is not counted, as I consider it as "fast food" . I wasn't adventorous enough to try it out myself when I'm in PG, or simply the Chinese hawker's food is enough to keep me glued with them .

And when I'm in KL, I hang out with my Pakistani frenz, and started to experience the Indian and Pakistani food. Some is fantastic, and some is simply too spicy ...... I wonder if it had been modified to follow the Malaysian recipe . Don't ask me abt Chinese food in KL, I really hv no idea, except for the "Bah Kut Teh" in Klang .

I'm glad to be in touch with the Indian food again, simply like the spices and how it marinade the materials, be it the chicken, fish or mutton . Looking forward to explore some north Indian food next ..... bring them on .

Well, just finished reading the STAR newspaper, and it's almost time to watch the TARA II show again.

Came across a column by Dina Zaman, on the identity confusion within her ethinic group in this country ..... how a Malay like her is being mistaken as Chinese, Japanese, Koreanese and etc. And how's her another Tamil friend is too mistreat as Malay and doesn't win a role as the "typical" Indian in a drama .

I lost count on how many times ppl speak to me in Malay, and even some of my close friends hv wonder if I hv some Indian ancestors.

I guess the multi racial culture in Malaysia has contribute to this pool of ppl who doesn't looks like the "original" Chinese, Indian or Malays. It does brings some confusion to myself along growing up, as you might worry you will not be accepted by your "original" ethnic group. But of course, the worry doesn't turn into reality during my school years, luckily .

But sometimes, I would hv wonder, when will we take away our stereotype on how an ethic shld looks like and behave ??? And when it did happens then, only we can all call ourself as Malaysian.

昨晚出席了二师兄的婚宴， 跟一班前任公司的老同事会面了 。。。。。。 在一班老主管的面前， 又恢复了当年唯唯诺诺的生涩表情 ， 嘴皮也不敢太轻佻了 。

最恼人的是穿着的高跟鞋带在一路走进酒店的时候 。。。。 断掉了 ， 结果当坐定后， 就不敢乱跑动， 也不能向"小丁当"主管，大师兄寒喧一番 ， 毕竟当年曾经"出生入死", 为公司卖命过 。

金多多问我心头有一番感触吗 ？ 感想多得是，感触则免了。 每个人的人生轨道都由自己掌盘， 只需要照着自己的意愿， 每天都留下有意义的脚步， 你还会有时间去感触吗 ？

是欣喜的， 见着了一群老同事， 让我在初步入社会大学时， 培养了我尽责以及做事认真的态度 。。。。。 虽然还是带着某些遗憾， 在一些课题上。 但人生是不停学习的路程， 有些遗憾希望将来还是可以弥补的 。

期待下次的重聚 (确保鞋带不会断了 ) 。。。。。。等待的过程， 继续挥写我的人生风景 。

Trust me, when I'm a kid, I smash harder than I am now .

Strange that when I recall the years when I'm playing badminton, it seems that I hv better skills, strength and speed of course ..... errrrrr, 20 years back . I can easily copy a trick from the players on the TV, and put it in my games .... a fast learner I will say.

But of course, while growing up and involving in the competition, I learn to withstand the pressure, and learn to read the opponents' movement, search for the open space whenever I can.

I still remember the greatest loss I hv is during my 1st year in university, my frenz and I are partnering for the ladies double, and we trumble to the varsity player 21 - 0. I throw away my racket right after the defeat and rush out from the complex and cry while sitting in the car park . I see it as a humilation then ...... but it also teach me, if you are not giving ur best in life, then you only hv urself to be blamed .

I'm going to hv a inter-plant tournament coming on in 2 weeks time ..... training "hard" for it . At least I will make sure my partner and I won;t be crushed with 21 - 0 again .
